Wouldn’t recommend - Program Operations Coordinator ChooseU Employee Review

Good chance to make a difference

Remote organization so may not meet people in person

Introduced me to digital marketing and that’s it

Ever since I became an “alum” for Scameration USA I had watched the downfall happen in 4K. The layoffs had a bunch of instructors and HQ out of jobs (and thankfully they were able to find much better jobs at much better programs like Merit America) and the people that were left working at Scameration USA did not do their jobs at all. You weren’t sure who your career placement person was and they were only available through email, which is often vague. The internship they give to you is also a scam - let’s just say you will owe the IRS in taxes after the fact because the stipend wasn’t taxed and you have to file it as a Schedule C - Business self-employed income. Huge, huge mistake. I was also kicked out of the slack channel after calling out the incompetent HQ members so many times and apparently my calling out was discouraging students. It’s not like they did not know how Scameration USA made these people quit their jobs to learn tech and no one is getting full time jobs after the fact. It took me a full year to get a full time job and it’s because I disaffiliated myself with Scameration USA and signed up for another fellowship program. It’s now known as ChooseU since Generation disaffiliated itself from its USA program but don’t be fooled. They don’t even have any programs listed on their website anymore other than a Microsoft certification and anyone can do that without signing up for Scameration USA!
